With humble gratitude, we thank this group of senior veterans for sending their support our way as we prepare for Saturday’s competition to be held at Hartford’s Mortensen Riverfront Plaza by Riverfront Recapture. Your generation paved the way. Our generation is honored to have carried that torch of service for our country forward.

August 7th - National Purple Heart Day.
Today, we honor those brave men and women who sacrificed a piece of themselves in service to our country.
A Purple Heart is more than a medal – it carries the weight of sacrifice, pain, and courage. We remember those who never came home, honor those who did and will never forget the price they paid for our freedom.
